Community Supported Art program offered in NH

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire program modeled after the Community Supported Agriculture movement will provide shareholders with a boxful of artwork instead of vegetables this holiday season.

The Sharon Arts Center is teaming up with the New Hampshire Institute of Art for its third Community Supported Art project. Instead of buying seasonal food from local farms, shareholders buy paintings, prints, photographs and other items from artists.

The 10 artists include faculty, alumni and students from the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester. They'll receive stipends for creating 50 unique, limited edition works. Shares for 10 works of art cost $350, and the items will be distributed at a "Pick-Up Party" on Dec. 6.
